Tarleton State University Athletics

Jerry Doyle turned Tarleton Women’s Golf into a national power house in his 18 years as head coach. His tenure was viewed as the Doyle Dynasty, because from 2008-18, Doyle led the TexAnns to 10 Lone Star Conference championships in 11 years – including seven consecutive titles from 2008-14. By his retirement, Doyle's 11 LSC Championships were more than double of any LSC team. The TexAnns won nine NCAA West Regional Championships in 10 seasons and advanced to the NCAA Championships 10 times with seven top-5 finishes. During Doyle's career, the TexAnns won 73 tournaments. Doyle won 14 Coach of the Year awards, including 10 LSC Coach of the Years – an LSC record at the time of his induction – and three WGCA West Regional Coach of the Year awards. Doyle's most prestigious individual award came in 2008, when he was named the WGCA National Coach of the Year. Doyle coached 21 WGCA All-Americans, 11 LSC Player of the Year winners and 51 All-LSC players, including 32 first-team selections. He also coached eight LSC Academic Players of the Year winners. In 2016, Doyle coached the WGCA Division II National Player of the Year in Isabel Jimenez – the first to win the award in LSC history.
